We bet you've made a vow to get into the best shape of your life this year beginning Jan 1, 2010.
The start of a new year prompts us all to evaluate ourselves and reset our goals.
Here are some simple tips and strategies that all of us can use to get started with achieving 2010's goals to get in shape: Journal what you eat It is important to be aware of what you are eating and how much food you are consuming each day in order to make the right changes in your diet.
We suggest that for at least one week, you write down everything that you consume so at the end of the week you can look over it and evaluate where you need to make some changes.
For example if you are snacking too much between meals throughout the day, you will become aware of it and know to cut back.
Sometimes even a small, simple change, like cutting out soda, can make a big difference.
Replace one meal per day with a protein shake Give yourself a little boost in weight loss by drinking a shake full of protein, fiber and fruit in place of eating a high-cal meal.
This is a great way to get enough protein and fiber as well as antioxidants in your daily diet while consuming less calories.
Prepare healthy snacks in advance Clean, peal / cut fruits and veggies in advance and keep them readily available in your fridge for those moments when you just gotta reach for something quick to satisfy your hunger.
Have some hard boiled eggs available or raw almonds that you can snack on without any guilt.
Burst on the treadmill Instead of doing long boring walks or runs on the treadmill, try bursting...
it's the best way to burn fat so you see results very quickly.
Start out with a warm-up just walking fast then kick up the speed so you are running at all your might for about 30 seconds to a minute (until you are out of breath and can't go anymore), then drop it back down for 2-3 mins to catch your breath and kick it back up again.
Repeat this 3 or 4 times, 3 times per week and you are good to go! Cardio just got a lot easier, more fun and less time consuming.
Don't forget resistance training If you want to be in the best shape of your life, you must incorporate both cardio and weights.
Resistance training will build muscle, boost your metabolism and help you burn fat all day.
Drink plenty of water and take vitamins Flush out toxins and stay hydrated and healthy.
Having a healthy body is necessary in order to obtain a fit body.
Keep your immune system strong and help your muscles rebuild themselves by giving your body proper nutrients.
Take a Multivitamin, an Antioxidant, Calcium Magnesium and Omega 3 Fish Oil to ensure your body is getting what it needs to function at its best.
Be sure all nutritional products that you ingest are pharmaceutical grade.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated and flush out all the toxins.
Get 8 hrs of sleep Not getting enough sleep can lead to weight-gain.
Be sure your body is getting enough rest to rebuild itself and feel energized in the morning.
Avoid drinking any caffeine at night so you will be able to fall asleep at a decent hour.
If you follow these steps above, you should begin to feel great and see results within the first week.
You will become aware of any bad eating habits that you might not have realized in the past.
Once you begin to make some healthy lifestyle and diet changes, you will be on your way to achieving your goals very quickly.
